ARIZONA PLEIN AIR PAINTERS

APAP Mission

The Arizona Plein Air Painters is established as a state-wide fellowship of artists who are dedicated to practicing and promoting the tradition of plein air painting. The organization works to protect public access to landscapes and historic areas within the State that are important to this tradition.  The organization understands the importance of art education and seeks opportunities to form partnerships with private and government organizations to support and strengthen the arts.

Members seek excellence in the pursuit of honestly interpreting the diversity of Arizona’s landscapes, history, and cultures.  Members strive to mentor emerging artists and share their expertise with fellow professional artists in order to maintain the highest standards of artistic endeavor.

The organization sponsors local paint-outs and shows that provide opportunities for new artists to embrace painting from life. Annual statewide shows and other events serve to showcase the beauty of Arizona, the excellence of members' artwork, and the importance of art to the quality of life.

The art of APAP members, the partnership and educational programs they support, and the programs they conduct, will contribute significantly to capturing and documenting the beauty and history of Arizona.
